INTRODUCTION. 



T IKE a song without words, so may history be written. Indeed, a few 
sheets of the simple music known as the " Songs of the War " awaken 
a better memory of that struggle, and would more fitly open this work, than 
anything which may otherwise be said. 

The chief, if not the only worth in a tale of great deeds, is truth, and this 
cannot be told either to the ear, or in print, so that all of it may lie held at 
once in the mind, fully and exactly. Words can only show things one after 
another, and some that are but parts of a whole are forgotten or crowded out, 
before the rest can be brought forward. Add to this, that no one man can 
see or know all that may happen at the same time, touching any large matter, 
and that no two can look from the same view-point at the same time, and so 
can see nothing in quite the same way, that the same words do not mean the 
same thing to all men, and that most men are apt to be biased in what they 
have any will to say, and it must be yielded, that " the art preservative," is not 
always, if ever, the art of truth. This last art belongs to the camera alone, 
whose swift, straight and nice pencils of light, write with the exact science of 
chemical reactions. 

In the beginning, photography was only a portrait painter, but with the 
instantaneous process, a new historian was born. The art has hitherto been 
too young for this to be enough thought of, but in the work now offered, it 
makes claim of right to its higher office, for it has found a worthy subject. 

History busies itself with republics. The activities and men of free 
governments, have filled the days of time, and it is as if the world had slept 
under despotisms, as through the lapse of night. Of republics, there have 
been two great examples in modern times — the first French one, and our own. 

Saving always the name of George Washington, from comparison with 



any other, ii may also be said, that the renown of two men for civil rule of a 
high order and chieftaincy in war of the highest, filled the mosl of the century, 
closing with the death of General Grant;- his own in the lasi half of it, and 
that of Napoleon Bonaparte, in the first half. The mm wen- not equal nor 
alike, for measured by results, the end of one at St, Helena, the republic that 
formed him lost by his own hand and nothing dune to endure, forbid, that he 
should be praised for great gpod-sensc, good citizenship or success, all of 
which, unstinted, must be accorded to Grant, 

When Grant was dead, instantaneous photography had become quite 
common, and many adepts wished by this means, to take and keep tin- solemn 
grandeur of the funeral rites. To do this al Riverside Park, was an exclusive 
privilege, and was allowed to but one man. He was an artist, and seemed 
always to catch the supreme moment, in which to fix the action. One can yet 
see in his pictures the very (lash of the cannons as their deep voice shook Un- 
earth and air and bade " good-bye ami again good-bye " to a nation's hero. 

Like work was done elsewhere by many hands and afu-rwards, a company 
was formed, to buy up all these negatives, and all others that could be found of 
or touching scenes in the life of the General. More than a thousand of such 
originals, were thus brought together, at a cost of over two hundred thousand 
dollars and some years of labor, These plates are history; they not only show 
the manner of him, who was the foremost man of his time in the greatest re- 
public of all time, but there are also shown his companions, the arms and 
enginery of war, the arts of peace, and even details of fashion and customs, 
which no mere writer would think to note. In short, the civilization of an age 
is, in one way and another, grouped around its central figure and photographed, 
and that too, in vivid scenes, of a whole people moved by deep feeling. 



So much ni cxqi i truth of, in surrounding anyone else En history, cannot 
he reproduced, nor is there now living, and may not bo for many years to 
i omc, another nucleus worthy "i .1 like collei tion, 

What this store Will be worth two thousand years hence, it would be haul 
to say. What wo would give to m-c Mark Antony at Ccosar's funeral were 
more easily come at. 

The space that any lime or man may (111, is less as ii is distant, and as the 
span of knowledge widens. Two thousand years from now, nobody will have 
time to read Grant's Memoirs, even it the books shall be translated into the 
better and universal tongue and i\ pe, thai then expresses human thought ; but 
those impressions from life would rescue then their subjei 1 from the fullness 
of the forgotten, more than could n pyramid or library, for they tell more than 

the former and in less time than the latter. There is in them, more of the 
immortality Ol tame for General (Irani, than in all thai nOW can otherwise be 
buill or spoken. 

Al first, it was meant to use them in trade, hut when ihev were brought 

to the knowledge of the Committee of the Grant Monument Association, with 

a plan to make thein the means of raising money for the monument, their 
worth i" that end was ai om e seen, and tin' Committee agreed to enter into a 
contract with the owners so to use them, and that then some safe place 



should be made in the monument, wherein to keep them for oil time, it was 
learned, however, that the corporate powers of the Association were not broad 
enough for this, and before that defect could be cured, the ownership of the 
pictures was thrown into the doubt of a lawsuit, from which the title has but 
lately been freed. 

The scope of this work, in brief, covers the time between the last Congress 
before the war of the rebellion, and the entombment at Riverside Park. 

It illustrates both the civil and military career of its subject. 

In the latter, the series of Grant's commissions from the rank of Second 
Lieutenant to that of General which was created for him, all won in active 
service, proves his right to place amongst the foremost few of great commanders. 

Mis election and re-election to the Presidency of the United States, crowns 
the duties of his good citizenship. 

The gifts and welcomes of the world, show the breadth of the esteem in 
which he was held, and the grief of the people at his loss, left no doubt of 
1 heir love for him. 

The evidence 6f such facts as these, set forth in scenes of interest in them- 
selves, make his pictorial biography, and much of the most thrilling chapter 
in the records of the republic. This is our offering — an everlasting wreath of 
art to fame.

THIS IS THE LAST PICTURE TAKEN OF GENERAL GRANT. copyriqht iee* by wiluam h. allcn. 

JUST FOUR DAYS BEFORE HIS DEATH, THE NINETEENTH OF JULY; THE GENERAL PASSING AWAY ON THE MORNING OF THE TWENTY-THIRD OF JULY, 188S. 

This picture was taken without any preparation of tile General, and without his knowledge, and it occurred quite unexpectedly to our artist, who boarded at the Mt. McGregor 
Hotel, distant about a hundred yards from the Grant Cottage. On the morning on which this picture was taken, our artist came out the back way of the hotel, with his camera, 
intending to take some scenery of the woods close by. When getting on the ground, to his agreeable surprise he saw the Genera] come out of the Cottage door and seat himself in 
his easy-chair, on the porch, and commence to read a newspaper. The distance was great for a little camera to reach, but quick as thought he brought it to bear on the Cottage porch, 
and this photograph is the result ; for the first time, the old soldier, who has restored this Union forever, is seen with his eye glasses on reading a newspaper. Our artist had taken the 
old nero several times before, by his permission, but it was in family groups and in constrained and unnatural positions, knowing he was being taken for posterity, or to oblige warm 
friends ; but when this last view of the great man was snatched from him, he was unaware of it, and it looks very natural, indeed, and shows the simplicity of the man more than 
volumes of writing could do. Harrison, the faithful nurse in the doorway.

jmili present practice <>f increasing Q publliher's circulation by issuing in serial form, and at popular prices, editions of works of art is possible only because 

of the demand. . . 

' K a publisher condemns or abstains from the device he is not correcting an evil but withholding a goad tiling. The people are apt to be right, the artistic 
impulse manifested is in every way commendable, and a willingness to satisfy it is amiable. To do so, gives ilic people what they want, which it is said is the 
first principle of a publisher's mi. i ess The enormous editions required for the purpose named, enables the sale of single copies at prices almost inappreciable. 

If there be any duly in the matter, it would seem to be best exercised in selecting such works for this use as will afford the most for the money, in worth 
and interest. A prominent feature of the existing demand is. that there shall he adherence to photographic truth. 

We think OUI Own collection peculiarly adapted to the use proposed. It «-<»vers a phase in the history of Gen. Grant which no previous publication has or 
can treat of, and without which no history of him is complete, it is substantially complete in itself, and is strictly limited to photographic facts. 

We have nothing but praise for the works with which out own may seem to compete, but if anything in the nature of comparison must be entertained for 
the purpose ol Judging of probable sun ess, we have to stilimit that in cost, in permanent and historic interest, in intrinsic value, in fitness for such use, in art, skill 
and beauty, in simplicity and sublimity alike, in existing national advertisement, and the multitude of Americans who for personal reason will appreciate it, there 
is not extant a serial publication, nor can the subject ol another hardly he conceived, which does or might come into the same class with that which we present. 

Whether the scenes of a fair can he compared with those that mark the slruggles of the republic for existence or not, it must be conceded, that they do 
not encroach upon each other's domain 

A bright novel may have a wider circulation in a month than a history or an encyclopedia in a year, but that of the latter will finally be the larger, and 
will always reflect substantial credit upon the distributor. 

So, while it is true of these pictures that some of them may appear to be especially wanting in sensational elements, there is none without interest and worth. 

l ake a lew extreme instances ; A photograph of an army saddle in itself is void ol" purpose ; hnl.il because Grant would not change it through the war, it 
illustrates one of those a lice i ions for, or perhaps an unconfessed superslition in respect of, inanimate objects, then it touches a chord that makes the whole world kin. 

So a place will not be denied for the group of three horses which, more than any others, bore the General in his important campaigns. This does no more 
for them, than poetry did for the one which in most other lands and times would have added the title of Winchester to the name of Sheridan. 

The three horses of this group won the accumulated aristocratic prefixes or place names for an entire peerage, all 6f which should have been given— to the 
horsos, the natural nobility of the man was above them. 

So a reproduction of a gift from the antipodes is simple, hut if it holds a loop in the only wreath of fame that was ever thrown around the world for any 
man, that is a circumstance which fortunately touches the pride of every American. Again, a first lieutenant commission, in fac simile, is not distinguished ; 
Napoleon had one also, but if, as in the case of Grain, this was hut the fust step in a lofty flight of promotion which culminated in the creation of a new and 
great rank above nil others for the occupancy of his mighty military genius, then the earliest is not to be omitted. 

So clsewhci e. side by side with seeming simplicities, are more significant scenes — the American Senate of the thirty-sixth Congress, the last one before the war. 

The Inst photograph of General Grant taken unknown to himself at Ml. McGregor only four days before his death. 

Grant was always accommodating to photographers. His posings arc the most remarkable that can be found of any man. They are a study in many 
ways. There is always manifest an old-fashioned regard for appearances. He liked to look well when he had his picture taken. But oh, the simplicity and 
character in them. The quiet determination of the man is never unsensed. This is especially noticeable in some groups which show his staff about him at 
headquarters, doubtless taken with the purpose on somebody's part of publishing reproductions in the North ; for they could not be looked upon without an 
inspiration of confidence in the final result. There is one clearly not meant for that or any other purpose — it is of Grant alone, standing with his fore arm 
against a tree by the side of his lent at Cold Harbor. The situation may be read in his face ; the lines are deeply drawn, a physical dejecture from over-anxiety 
is in Ins attitude, and vet the same combined freedom of pretense and unconquerable will is there — the constant apparition of the man. 

Finally, there ate the grand scenes, whose solemn pageantry will ever unroll, in the memory of those who saw it, at the mention of the General's burial, 
when the bowed heads of a mighty assemblage of lour millions of people, the arms reversed, amid the pomp and circumstance of war. the trailing robes of civil 
magistracy and power, and the roar of artillery could hardly give the sign and voice of a nation's lamentation, and, following this, the picture of one other man, — 
the last photograph of Abraham Lincoln— because no soldier of the war is buried anywhere without the memory of what the President said at Gettysburg. 

The pictures arc such as these. The demand for them may not be miscalculated. They will be wanted by all the organizations and individuals who 
appear in any of the scenes depicted, and of these persons there are thousands ; — by all good citizens for whom, whether in the midst of cannons or cabinets. 
Grant stands for the Genius of American patriotism and the good order of a free people, a great example to our rulers and a lesson to our youth, for other heroes 
in a time of need, teaching in the words that all great masters use in every art, " Imitate me ;" by all the present army and its friends which, since it is so small, 
is mentioned here for honor more than profit, but there is not an officer or man in it who forgets that no equal glory, rests upon the arms of any other nation on 
the earth; — all won under the law ami for liberty and peace, by that type of character which was embodied in General Grant; — by all the men of the Grand Army's 
Posts and of the Loyal Legion, and all the veterans and their children everywhere, who will hold these prints, as further proof of title to an immortal heritage ; 
by all the homes throughout the laud ; in some to be enshrined in nook or corner, as fit memento of great sacrifice and loss which only found its gain in Grant's 
success, and in the rest because there is none that would not be adorned. 

By all of these it should be sought for art, for beauty, for historic truth, for lesson and example, and for prioe, for heroism, loyalty and fame, and also, but 
more kindly, for affection's sake.

BUSINESS ADVERTISEMENT. 



JT7IIK present prni tice oi Ini reasing .1 publishei 's Circulation by issuing in serial form, and at popular prices, editions of works of art is possible only because 
of the demand. 

* If B publisher condemns or abstains from the device lie is not correcting an evil but withholding a good thing. The people are apt to be right, the artistic 
impulse manifested is in every way commendable, and .1 willingness to satisfy it is amiable. To do so, gives the people what they want, which it is said is the 
first principle ol .1 publisher's sut cess, The enormous editions required for the purpose named, enables the sale of single copies at prices almost inappreciable. 

il there be any duty in the matter, ll would seem to be best exercised in selecting such works for this use as will afford the most for the money, in worth 
and Interest. A 1 Ineni feature ol the existing demand is, that there shall be adherence to photographic truth. 

We think our own C0lle< tlon peculiai lv adapted to the use proposed. It covers a phase in the history of Gen. Grant which no previous publication has or 
can treat of, and without which no history of him is complete, li is substantially complete in itself, and is strictly limited to photographic facts. 

We have nothing but prntsc for the works with which our own may seem 40 compete, but if anything in the nature of comparison must be entertained for 
the purpose "i judging ol probable success, we have to submit thai in cost, in permanent and historic interest, in intrinsic value, in fitness for such use, in art, skill 
and beauty, In Simplicity and sublimity ,1 like, in existing national advertisement, and the multitude of Americans who for personal reason will appreciate it, there 
is ui'i ex tan I a SCI ial publii atiqn, 1 an the subjei 1 0! another hardly be conceived, which docs or might come into the same class with that which we present. 

Whether the scenes "I a fair < ■an be 1 om pared with those that mark the struggles of the republic for existence or not, it must be conceded, that they do 
not encroach upon each other's domain. 

A bright novel may have a wider circulation in a month than a history or an encyclopedia in a year, but that of the latter will finally be the larger, and 
will always reflect substantial credit upon the distributor. 

So, while it is true of these pictures that some Of them may appear to be especially wanting in sensational elements, there is none without interest and worth. 
Take a lew extreme Instances ; A photograph of On army saddle in itself is void of purpose ; but, if because Grant would not change it through the war, it 
illustrates one of those affections for, or perhaps an unconfessed Superstition in respect of, inanimate objects, then it touches a chord that makes the whole world kin. 

50 a place will not be denied lor ihe t>i oup of three horses which, more than any others, bore the General in his important campaigns. This does no more 
lor them, than poetrv did lot the one which in mosl other lauds and limes would have added the title of Winchestrr to the name of Sheridan. 

The three horses ol this group won the accumulated aristocratic prefixes or place names for an entire peerage, all of which should have been given— to the 
horses, ihe natural nobility pi the man was above tin in 

51 1 a reproduction 1 >i a gift from the antipodes is simple, hut if it holds a loop in the only wreath of fame that was ever thrown around the world for any 
man, thai is a circumstance which Fortunately touches the pride of every American. Again, a first lieutenant commission, in fac simile, is not distinguished ; 
Napoleon had one also, but il, as in the ease of (".rani, this was but the first step in a lofty Might of promotion which culminated in the creation of a new and 
great rank above all others for the occupancy of his mighty military genius, then the earliest is not to be omitted. 

So elsewhere, side by side with seeming simplicities, are more Significant scenes — the American Senate of the thirty-sixth Congress, the last one before the war. 
The la-. 1 photograph ul Geneial I! rani taken unknown to himself at Mt, McGregor only four days before his death. 

Grant was always aeetnumoil.it i nt* to photographers. His posings are the most remarkable that can be found of any man. They are a study in many 
ways. There is always manifest an old-fashioned regard for appearances, He liked to look well when he had his picture taken. But oh, the simplicity and

HE present practice of Increasing a publisher's circulation by issuing in serial form, anil at popular prices, editions of works of art is possible only because 

If a Dubltaher condemns or abstains from the device he is not correcting an evil but withholding a good thing. The people are apt to be right, the artistic 
' • • ., commendable One! a willingness to satisfy it is amiable. To do so, gives the people what they want, which it is said is the 



med, enables" the sale of single copies at prices almost inappreciable 



11 there be any duty in the matter, it would seem to be I 
and interest. A 



purpose nan 

.electing such works for this use as will afford the most for the money, m worth 



... •re shall be adherence to photographic truth. 
WeVhlnk our'own col'lcotton peculiarly adapted to the use proposed. It covers a phase in the history of Gen. Grant which no previous publication has or 
can treat of, and without which no history of him is complete. It is substantially complete in itself, and is strictly limited to photographic facts. 

W( . |, „.,. „ ,„„„„ , „ ,„, ,|„. w.rks with whi. h »..r own may seem to compete, but if anything in the nature of comparison must be entertained for 

the purpose'of bulging of probable success, we have to submit that in cost, in permanent and historic interest, in intrinsic value, in fitness for such use, in art, skill 
and beauty, in simplicity and sublimity alike, in existing national advertisement, and the multitude of Americans who for personal reason will appreciate ,t, there 

is not extant a sei lul publi I, "or can the subject of another hardly be conceived, which does or might come into the same class with that winch we present. 

Whethei the SI enes of a fair can be compared with those that mark the struggles of the republic for existence or not, it must be conceded, that they do 
not encroach upon each other's domain, , , 

A bright novel may have a wider circulation in a month than a history or an encyclopedia in a year, but that of the latter will finally be the larger, and 
will always reflect substantial credit upon the distributor. 

So while it is true of these pictures that some of them may appear to be especially wanting in sensational elements, there is none without interest and worth. 
Take a few extreme instances ; A photograph of an army saddle in itself is void of purpose ; but, if because Grant would not change it through the war, it 

illustrates on, urn- auctions , perhaps an uuconfessed superstition in respect of. inanimate objects, then it touches a chord that makes the whole world km. 

So a place will hot be denied for the group of three horses which, more than any others, bore the General in his important campaigns. This does no more 
for them, than poetry did for the one which in most other lands and times would have added the title of Winchester to the name of Sheridan. 

The three horses of this group won the accumulated aristocratic prefixes or place names for an entire peerage, all of which should have been given — to the 
horses, the natural nobility of the man was above them. 

So a reproduction of a gift from the antipodes is simple, but if it holds a loop in the only wreath of fame that was ever thrown around the world for any 
m \n thai is i circumstance which fortunately touches the pride of every American. Again, a first lieutenant commission, in fac simile, is not distinguished ; 
Napoleon had one also but if as in the case of Grant, this was but the first step in a lofty flight of promotion which culminated in the creation of a new and 
great rank above all others for the occupancy of his mighty military genius, then the earliest is not to be omitted. 

So elsewhere side by side with seeming simplicities, are more significant scenes — the American Senate of the thirty-sixth Congress, the last one before the war. 
The last photograph of General Grant taken unknown to himself at Mt. McGregor only four days before his death. 

Grant was always accommodating to photographers. His posings arc the most remarkable that can be found of any man. They are a study in many 
ways There is always manifest an old-fashioned regard for appearances. He liked to look well when he had his picture taken. But oh, the simplicity and 
character in them The quiet determination of the man is never unsensed. This is especially noticeable in some groups which show his staff about him at 
headquarters, doubtless taken with the purpose on somebody's part of publishing reproductions in the North ; for they could not be looked upon without an 
inspiration of confidence in the final result. There is one clearly not meant for that or any other purpose — it is of Grant alone, standing with his fore arm 
against a tree by the side of his lent at Cold Harbor. The situation may be read in his face ; the lines are deeply drawn, a physical dejecture from over-anxiety 
is in his attitude and yet the same combined freedom of pretense and unconquerable will is there — the constant apparition of the man. 

Final! V their are the grand scenes, whose solemn pageantry will ever unroll, in the memory of those who saw it, at the mention of the General's burial, 
when the bowed heads of a mighty assemblage of four millions of people, the arms reversed, amid the pomp and circumstance of war, the trailing robes of civil 
magistracy and power, and the roar of artillery could hardly give the sign and voice of a nation's lamentation, and, following this, the picture of one other man, — 
the last photograph of Abraham Lincoln — because no soldier of the war is buried anywhere without the memory of what the President said at Gettysburg. 

The pictures are such as these. The demand for them may not be miscalculated. They will be wanted by all the organizations and individuals who 
appear in any of the scenes depicted, and of these persons there are thousands ; — by all good citizens for whom, whether in the midst of cannons or cabinets, 
Grant stands for the Genius of American patriotism and the good order of a free people, a great example to our rulers and a lesson to our youth, for other heroes 
in a time of need teaching in the words that all great masters use in every art, " Imitate me ;" by all the present army and its friends which, since it is so small, 
is mentioned here for honor more than profit, but there is not aivo.fficer or man in it who forgets that no equal glory, rests upon the arms of any other nation on 

the earth" all won under the law and for liberty and peace, by that type of character which was embodied in General Grant; — by all the men of the Grand Army's 

Posts and of the Loval Legion, and all the veterans and their children everywhere, who will hold these prints, as further proof of title to an immortal heritage ; 
by all the homes throughout the land ; in some to be enshrined in nook or corner, as fit memento of great sacrifice and loss which only found its gain in Grant's 
success, and in the rest because there is none that would not be adorned. 

By all of these it should be sought for art, for beauty, for historic truth, for lesson and example, and for prioc, for heroism, loyalty and fame, and also, but 
more kindly, for affection's sake.

So a reproduction of a gift from the antipodes is simple, but if it holds a loop in the only wreath of fame that was ever thrown around W for any 
man. that is .circumstance which fortunately touches the pride of every American. Again, a first lieutenant commission in fac simile. ,s not d.s ingu shed.

8 So elsewhere, side by side with seeming simplicities, are more significant scenes-.he American Senate of the thirty-sixth Congress, the last one before the war. 
The last photograph of General Grant taken unknown to himself at Ml. McGregor only four days before his death. 

Grant was always accun,n,od...ing ... photographers U.s pos.ngs ,„e ,l,e most remarkable .ha. can be found of any man. The, are a study m many 
ways. There is always manifest an old-fashioned regard for appearances. He liked to look well when he had his p.elure taken But on, the s.mphc.y and 
character in them. The quic. determination of the man is never unseased. This is especially noticeable m some groups which show his staff about him at 
headquarters doubtless taken with the purpose on somebody's part of publishing reproductions in the North ; for they could not be looked upon without an 
inspiration of confidence In the final res\.ll. There is one clearly not meant for that or any other purpose-it is of Grant alone, standing with his fore arm 
against a tree by the side of his tent at Cold Harbor. The situation may be read in his face ; the lines are deeply drawn, a physical dejecture from over-anxiety 
is in his attitude, and ye. the same combined freedom of pretense and unconquerable will is there-the constant apparition of the man. _ 

Finally, there are the grand scenes, whose solemn pageantry will ever unroll, in the memory of those who saw it, a. .he mention of the General s burial 
when the bowed heads of a mighty assemblage of four millions of people, the arms reversed, amid the pomp and circumstance of war, the trailing robes of civil 
magistracy and power, and the roar of artillery could hardly give the sign and voice of a nation's lamentation, and, following this, the picture of one other man- 
the last photograph of Abraham Lincoln-because no soldier of the war is buried anywhere Without the memory of what the President said at Gettysburg. 

The pictures are such as these. The demand for them may not be miscalculated. They will be wanted by all the organizations and individuals who 
appear in any of the scenes depicted, and of these persons there are thousands ;-by all good citizens for whom, whether in .he midst of cannons or cabine.s, 
Grant stands for the Genius of American patriotism and the good order of a free people, a great example to our rulers and a lesson to our youth, for other heroes 
in a time of need, teaching in the words that all great masters use In every art, " Imitate me ;" by all the present army and us friends which, since u is so small, 
is mentioned here for honor more than profit, but there is not an officer or man In it who forgets that no equal glory, rests upon the arms of any other nation on 
the earth— all won under the law and for liberty and peace, by that type of character which was embodied in General Grant;— by all the men of the Grand Army's 
Posts and of the Loyal Legion and all the veterans and their children everywhere, who will hold these prints, as further proof of title to an immortal heritage ; 
by all the homes throughout the land ; in some to be enshrined in nook or corner, as fit memento of great sacrifice and loss which only found its gain in Grant's 
success, and in the rest because there is none that would not be adorned. 

By all of these it should be sought for art, for beauty, for historic truth, for lesson and example, and for price, lor heroism, loyalty and fame, and also, but 
more kindly, for affection's sake.

I !I ISINKSS ADVERTISEMENT. 



JTTHE present prnctice of increasing a publisher's circulation by issuing in serial form, and at popular prices, editions of works of art is possible only because 
| of the demand. ( 

H a publish. -i ( Miiili-mns or abstains from the device he is not correcting an evil but withholding a good thing. The people are apt to be right, the artistic 
impulse man) felted is in every way commendable; and .1 willingness to satisfy it is amiable. To do so, gives the people what they want, which it is said is the 
fust principle 0( a publisher's BU< celt, The enormous editions required for the purpose named, enables the sale of single copies at prices almost inappreciable. 

If there be any duly in the matter, ii would seem to be best exercised in selecting such works for this use as will afford the most for the money, in worth 
and interest. A prominent feature ol the existing demand is, thai there shall be adherence to photographic truth. 

We think our own collection peculloi ly adapted to the use proposed. It covers a phase in the history of Gen. Grant which no previous publication has or 
can treat of, and without which no history of him is complete. It is substantially complete in itself, and is strictly limited to photographic facts. 

We have nothing but praise for the works with which our own may seem to compete, but if anything in the nature of comparison must be entertained for 
the purpose ol judging ol probable success, we have to submit that in cost, in permanent and historic interest, in intrinsic value, in fitness for such use, in art, skill 
and beauty, in simplicity and sublimity alike, in existing national advertisement, and the multitude of Americans who for personal reason will appreciate it, there 
Is not extant a serial publication, nor ran the subject of another hardly be conceived, which does or might come into the same class with that which we present. 

Whether the scenes of a fair can be compared with those that mark the struggles of the republic for existence or not, it must be conceded, that they do 
not encroach upon each other's domain. 

A blight novel may have a wider circulation in a month than a history or an encyclopedia in a year, but that of the latter will finally be the larger, and 
will always relied substantial credit upon the distributor. 

So, while it is true of these pictures that lomo o! then) hi. iv appear to be especially wanting in sensational elements, there is none without interest and worth. 

Take a few extreme Instances A photograph of an army saddle in itself is void of purpose ; but, if because Grant would not change it through the war, it 
illustrates one of those affections for. or perhaps an unconfeSsed superstition in respect of, inanimate objects, then it touches a chord that makes the whole world kin. 

So a place will not be denied toi the grou] hrei hoi tea which, more than any others, bore the General in his important campaigns. This does no more 

for them, than poetry did for the one which iirmosl other lands and limes would have added the title of Winchester to the name of Sheridan. 

The three horses of this group won the accumulated aristocratic prefixes or place names for an entire peerage, all of which should have been given — to the 
horses, the natural nobility of the man was above them. 

So .1 repi oiluetioii ol a );itl lioin [lie antipodes is simple, lint il ii holds .1 loop in the only Wreath of lame thai was ever thrown around the world for any 
man, that is a circumstance which fortunately touches the pride of every American. Again, a first lieutenant commission, in fac simile, is not distinguished ; 
Napoleon had one also. 1ml if, as in the t ase ol Grant, this w as bui the lii^i Step in a lofty lli'^ln ol promotion u;Iih:Ii culminated in tin- Creation of a new .mil 
great rank above all others for the oeeupaney ol his mighty military genius, then the earliest is not to be omitted. 

So elsewhere, side by side with seeming simplicities, are more significant scenes — the American Senate of the thirty-sixth Congress, the last one before the war. 

The last photograph of General Grant taken unknown to himself at Ml. McGregor only four days before his death. 

Grant was always accommodating to photographers. Mis posings arc the most remarkable that can be found of any man. They are a study in many 
ways. There is always manifest an old-fashioned regard lor appearances. Me liked to look well when he had his picture taken. But oh, the simplicity and 
character in them. The quiet determination of the man is never unsensed. This is especially noticeable in some groups which show his staff about him at 
headquarters, doubtless taken with the purpose on somebody's part of publishing reproductions in the North ; for they could not be looked upon without an 
inspiration of confidence in the final result. There is one clearly not meant for that or any other purpose — it is of Grant alone, standing with his fore arm 
against n tree by the side of his tent at Cold Harbor. The situation may be read in his face ; the lines are deeply drawn, a physical dejecture from over-anxiety 
is in his attitude, and yet the same combined freedom of pretense and unconquerable will is there — the constant apparition of the man. 

Finally, there are the grand seenes, whose solemn pageantry will ever unroll, in the memory of those who saw it, at the mention of the General's burial, 
when the bowed heads of a mighty assemblage of four millions of people, the arms reversed, amid the pomp and circumstance of war, the trailing robes of civil 
magistracy and power, and the roar of artillery could hardly give the sign and voice of a nation's lamentation, and, following this, the picture of one other man, — 
the last photograph of Abraham Lincoln — because no soldier of the war is buried anywhere without the memory of what the President said at Gettysburg. 

The pictures are such as these. The demand for them may not be miscalculated. They will be wanted by all the organizations and individuals who 
appear in any of the scenes depicted, and of these persons there are thousands ; — by all good citizens for whom, whether in the midst of cannons or cabinets. 
Grant stands for the Genius of American patriotism and the good order of a free people, a great example to our rulers and a lesson to our youth, for other heroes 
in a time of need, teaching in the words that all great masters use in every art, " Imitate me ;" by all the present army and its friends which, since it is so small, 
is mentioned here for honor more than profit, but there is not an officer or man in it who forgets that no equal glory, rests upon the arms of any other nation on 
the earth; — all won under the law and for liberty and peace, by that type of character which was embodied in General Grant; — by all the men of the Grand Army's 
Posts and of the Loyal Legion, and all the veterans and their children everywhere, who will hold these prints, as further proof of title to an immortal heritage ; 
by all the homes throughout the land ; in some to be enshrined in nook or corner, as fit memento of great sacrifice and loss which only found its gain in Grant's 
success, and in the rest because there is none that would not be adorned. 

By all of these it should be sought for art, for beauty, for historic" truth, for lesson and example, and for priac, for heroism, loyalty and fame, and also, but 
more kindly, for affection's sake

I !l ISINKSS ADVERTISEMENT. 



TTTHE present prnclice of increasing Q publisher's circulation by Issuing in serial form, and at popular prices, editions of works of art is possible only because 
of the demand, 

If a publisher condemns or abstains from the device Me is not correcting an evil but withholding a pood thing. The people are apt to be right, the artistic 
impulse manifested Is In every way commendable, and a willingness to satisfy it is amiable. To do so, gives the people what they want, which it is said is the 
flrsl prln.i IplO Oi publisher's success. The enormous editions required for the purpose named, enables the sale of single copies at prices almost inappreciable. 

If there be any duty in the mailer, it would seem tit be best exercised In selecting such works for this use as will afford the most for the money, in worth 
and Interest. A prominent feature ot the existing dem&nd is, thai then- shall be adherence to photographic truth. 

We think our own collection peculiarly adapted to the use proposed, li covers a phase In the history of Gen. Grant which no previous publication has or 
cun treat of, and without which no history ol him is complete, It is substantially complete in itself, and is strictly limited to photographic facts. 

We have nothing but praise for the works with which our own may seem to compete, but if anything in the nature of comparison must be entertained for 
the purpose Of judging Of probable success, we have to submit thai In COSt, in permanent and historic interest, in intrinsic value, in fitness for such use, in art, skill 
and beauty, in simplicity and sublimity alike, in existing national advertisement, and the multitude of Americans who for personal reason will appreciate it, there 
is not extant a serial publication, not can the Bubjecl "l another hardly be conceived, which docs or might come into the same class with that which we present. 

Whether the scenes of a fair can be compared with those that mark the struggles of the republic for existence or not, it must be conceded, that they do 
not encroach upon each other's domain, 

A bright novel maj hai i n n idei i in ulation in ■> month than .1 historj "i an encyclopedia in a year, but that of the latter will finally be the larger, and 
will always reflect substantial credit upon the distributor. 

So, while it is true of these pictures that some of them may appear to be especially wanting in sensational elements, there is none without interest and worth, 

Take a few extreme instances : A photograph of an army saddle in itself is void of purpose ; but, if because Grant would not change it through the war, it 
illustrates one of those affections for, or perhaps an unconfessed superstition in respect of, inanimate objects, then it touches a chord that makes the whole world kin. 

So a place will not be denied bn the group of three horses which, more than any others, bore the General in his important campaigns. This does no more 
for them, than poetry did l"i the one which in most Other lands anil limes would have added the title of Winchester to the name of Sheridan. 

The three horSOS Of this group won the accumulated aristocratic prefixes or place names for an entire peerage, all of which should have been given — to the 
horses, the natural nobility of the man was above them. 

So a reproduction of a gift from the antipodes is simple, but if it holds a loop in the only wreath of fame that was ever thrown around the world for any 
man, that is a ctrcumstaat e Which i"i tunately tout hes the pride Of every American. Again, a first lieutenant commission, in fac simile, is not distinguished ; 
Napoleon had one also, but if, as in the case of Grant, this was but the first step in a lofty flight of promotion which culminated in the creation of a new and 
great rank above all others for the occupancy of his mighty military genius, then the earliest is not to be omitted. 

So elsewhere, side by side with scemingsimplicilics, are more significant scenes — the American Senate of the thirty-sixth Congress, the last one before the war. 

The last photograph of General Grant taken unknown to himself at Ml, McGregor only four days before his death. 

Grant was always accommodating to photographers, His poslngs are the most remarkable that can be found of any man, They are a study in many 
wnys. There is always manifest an old-fashioned regard for appearances. He liked to look well when he had his picture taken. But oh, the simplicity and 
character in them. The quiet determination of the man is never nnsenscd. This is especially noticeable in some groups which show his staff about him at 
headquarters, doubtless taken with (he purpose on somebody's part of publishing reproductions in the North ; for they could not be looked upon without an 
inspiration of confidence in the final result. There is one clearly not meant for th&t or any other purpose — it is of Grant alone, standing with his fore arm 
against a tree by the side of his tent at Cold Harbor. The situation may be read in his face ; the lines are deeply drawn, a physical dejecture from over-anxiety 
is in his attitude, and yet the same combined freedom of pretense ami unconquerable will is there — the constant apparition of the man. 

Finally, there are the grand scenes, whose solemn pageantry will ever unroll, in the memory of those who saw it, at the mention of the General's burial, 
when the bowed heads of a mighty assemblage of four millions of people, the arms reversed, amid the pomp and circumstance of war, the trailing robes of civil 

magistracy and power, and the roar of artillery could hardly give the sign and voice of a nation's lamentation, and, following this, the picture of one other man, 

the last photograph of Abraham Lincoln — because no soldier of the war is buried anywhere without the memory of what the President said at Gettysburg. 

The pictures arc such as these. The demand for them may not be miscalculated. They will be wanted by all the organizations and individuals who 
appear in any of the scenes depicted, and of these persons there are thousands ; — by all good citizens for whom, whether in the midst of cannons or cabinets, 
Grant stands for the Genius of American patriotism and the good order of a free people, a great example to our rulers and a lesson to our youth, for other heroes 
in a time of need, teaching in the words that all great masters use in every art, *' Imitate me by all the present army and its friends which, since it is so small 
is mentioned here for honor more than profit, but there is not an officer or man in it>i/ho forgets that no equal glory, rests upon the arms of any other nation on 
the earth; — all won under the law and for liberty and peace, by that type of character which was embodied in General Grant; — by all the men of the Grand Army's 
Posts and of the Loyal Legion, and all the veterans and their children everywhere, who will hold these prints, as further proof of title to an immortal heritage ; 
by all the homes throughout the land ; in some to be enshrined in nook or corner, as fit memento of great sacrifice and loss which only found its gain in Grant's 
success, and in the rest because there is none that would not be adorned. 

By all of these it should be sought for art, for beauty, for historic truth, for lesson and example, and for priae, for heroism, loyalty and fame, and also, but 
more kindly, for affection's sake.

JWHK present practice «f Increasing .1 publisher's, circulation by issuing in serial form, and at popular prices, editions of works of art is possible only because 
of the demand. 

If n publisher condemns or abstains from the device he is not correcting an evil but withholding a good thing. The people are apt to be right, the artistic 
impulse manifested is in every way commendable, and a willingness to satisfy it is amiable. To do so, gives the people what they want, which it is said is the 
first principle nl ;i publishci \ sin cc.-. I'lic cm u iii-ms cdii \< .ns i c<piircd l-nthc purpose named, enables the sale of single copies at prices almost inappreciable. 

If there be any duty in the matter, it would leem to he best exercised in selecting such works for this use as will afford the most for the money, in worth 
and interest. A prominent feature of the existing demand is, that there shall Ik- adherence to photographic truth. 

Wc think our own collection peculiarly adapted to the use proposed, It (overs a phase in the history of Gen. Grant which no previous publication has or 
enn treat of, and without which no history of him is complete. It is substantially complete in itself, and is strictly limited to photographic facts. 

We have nothing but praise for the works with which our own may seem to compete, but if anything in the nature of comparison must be entertained for 
the purpose of judging of probable success, we have to submit that in cost, in permanent and historic interest, in intrinsic value, in fitness for such use, in art, skill 
ttnd beaut] , In Simplicity and sublimity alike, in existing national advertisement, and the multitude of Americans who for personal reason will appreciate it, there 
Is not extant a lei i.il publication, nor can the subject of another hardly be conceived, which does or might come into the same class with that which we present. 

Whether the scenes of a fair can be compared with those that mark the struggles of the republic for existence or not, it must be conceded, that they do 
not encroach upon each other's domain, 

A bright novel may have a wider circulation in a month than a history or an encyclopedia in a year, but that of the latter will finally be the larger, and 
will always reflect substantial credit upon the distributor. 

So, while it is true of these pictures that some of them may appear to be especially wanting in sensational elements, there is none without interest and worth 

Take ti few extreme instances : A photograph of an army saddle in itself is void of purpose ; but, if because Grant would not change it through the war, it 
illustrates one of those affections l.<r , mi perhaps an unconfessed superstition in respect of, inanimate objects, then it touches a chord that makes the whole world kin. 

So u place will not be denied for the group of three horses which, more than any others, bore the General in his important campaigns. This does no more 
for them, than poetry did for the one which in most other lands and times would have added the title of Wimhester to the name of Sheridan. 

The three horses of this group won the accumulated aristocratic prefixes or place names for an entire peerage, all of which should have been given— to the 
horses, the natural nobility of the man was above them. 

So n reproduction of 11 gift from the antipodes is simple, but if it holds a loop in the only wreath of fame that was ever thrown around the world for any 
man, that is n circumstance which fortunately touches the pride of every American. Again, a first lieutenant commission, in fac simile, is not distinguished ; 
Napoleon had one also, but if, ns in the case of Grant, this was but the first step in a lofty Might of promotion which culminated in the creation of a new and 
great rank above all others for the occupancy of his mighty military genius, then the earliest is not to be omitted. 

So elsewhere, side by side with seeming simplicities, are more significant scenes — the American Senate of the thirty-sixth Congress, the last one before the war. 

The hist photograph of General Grant taken unknown to himself at Ml. McGregor only four days before his death. 

Grunt was always accommodating to photographers. His posings are the most remarkable that can be found of any man. They are a study in many 
ways. There is always manifest an old-fashioned regard for appearances. He liked to look well when he had his picture taken. But oh, the simplicity and 
character In them. The quiet determination of the man is never unsensed, This is especially noticeable in some groups which show his staff about him at 
headquarters, doubtless taken with the purpose on somebody's pari of publishing reproductions in the North ; for they could not be looked upon without an 
inspiration of confidence in the final result. There is one clearly not meant for that or any other purpose — it is of Grant alone, standing with his forearm 
against a tree by the side of his tent at Cold Harbor. The situation may be read in his face ; the lines are deeply drawn, a physical dejecture from over-anxiety 
is in his attitude, and yet the same combined freedom of pretense and unconquerable will is there — the constant apparition of the man. 

Finally, there tire the grand scenes, whose solemn pageantry will ever unroll, in the memory of those who saw it. at the mention of the General's burial 
when the bowed heads of a mighty assemblage of four millions of people, the arms reversed, amid the pomp and circumstance of war, the trailing robes of civil 

magistracy and power, and the roar of artillery could hardly give the sign and voice of a nation's lamentation, and, following this, the picture of one other man 

the last photograph of Abraham Lincoln — because no soldier of the war is buried anywhere without the memory of what the President said at Gettysburg 

The pictures are such as these. The demand for them may not be miscalculated. They will be wanted by all the organizations and individuals who 
, appear in any of the scenes depicted, and of these persons there are thousands :— by all good citizens for whom, whether in the midst of cannons or cabinets 
Grant stands for the Genius of American patriotism nnd the good order of a free people, a great example to our rulers and a lesson to our youth, for other heroes 
in a time of need, teaching in the words that all great masters use in every art, *' Imitate ntte ;" by all the present army and its friends which since it is so small 
is mentioned here for honor more than profit, but there is not an officer or man in it who forgets that no equal glory, rests upon the arms of anv other nation on 
the earth;— all won under the law nnd for liberty and peace, by that type of character which was embodied in General Grant;— by all the men of the Grand Armv's 
Posts and of the Loyal Legion, and all the veterans and their children everywhere, who will hold these prints, as further proof of title to an immortal heriiaffe ■ 
by all the homes throughout the land ; in some to be enshrined in nook or corner, as fit memento of great sacrifice and loss which only found its gain in Grant's 
success, nnd in the rest because there is none that would not be adorned. 

By all of these it should be sought for art, for beauty, for historic truth, for lesson and example, and for pricic, for heroism, loyalty and fame, and also but 
more kindly, tor affection's sake.

magistracy ami power, ami the rear of artillery could hardly give the sign and voice of a nation's lamentation, and, following this, the picture of one other man, — 
the last photograph of Abraham Lincoln — because no soldier of the war is buried anywhere without the memory of what the President said at Gettysburg. 

The pictures are such as these. The demand for them may not be miscalculated. They will be wanted by all the organizations and individuals who 
appear in any of the scenes depicted, and of these persons there are thousands ; — by all good citizens for whom, whether in the midst of cannons or cabinets. 
Grant stands for the Genius of American patriotism and the good order of a free people, a great example to our rulers and a lesson to our youth, for other heroes 
in a time of need, teaching in the words that all great masters use in every art, " Imitate me ;" by all the present army and its friends which, since it is so small, 
is mentioned here for honor more than profit, but there is not an officer or man in it who forgets that no equal glory, rests upon the arms of any other nation on 
the earth; — all won under the law and for liberty and peace, by that type of character which was embodied in General Grant;— by all the men of the Grand Army's 
Posts and of the Loyal Legion, and all the veterans and their children everywhere, who will hold these prints, as further proof of title to an immortal heritage ; 
by all the homes throughout the land ; in some to be enshrined in nook or corner, as fit memento of great sacrifice and loss which only found its eain in Grant's 
success, and in the rest because there is none that would not be adorned. 

By all of these it should be sought for art, for beauty, for historic truth, for lesson and example, and for pride, tor heroism, loyalty and fame, and also, but 
more kindly, for affection's sake.

BUSINESS ADVERTISEMENT. 



JTJI11*; preaenl prat tice ol liw rcaaing .1 publisher's 1 In ulal by Issuing in serial form, and at popular prices, editions of works of art is possible only because 

I of the demand. 

If a publisher condemns or abstains from the device lie is not correcting an evil but withholding a good thing. The people are apt to be right, the artistic 
impulse manifested is in every wuy commendable, and a willingness to satisfy it is amiable. To do so, gives the people what they want, which it is said is the 
first principle of a publisher's success, The enormous editions required for the purpose named, enables the sale of single copies at prices almost inappreciable. 

if there be any duty in the matter, it would seem to be best exercised In selecting such works for this use as will afford the most for the money, in worth 
and interest. A prominent feature of the existing demand is, that there shall be adherence to photographic truth. 

We think our own collei tlon pei uliarty adapted to tin use proposed, U covers a phase in the history of Gen. Grant which no previous publication has or 
can treat of, and without which no history of him is complete. It is substantially complete in itself, and is strictly limited to photographic facts. 

We have nothing but praise for the works with which our own may seem to compete, but if anything in the nature of comparison must be entertained for 
the purpose ol judging ol probable suet ess, we have to submit that in cost, in permanent and historic interest, in intrinsic value, in fitness for such use, in art, skill 
and beauty, in simplicity and sublimity alike, in existing national advertisement, and the multitude of Americans who for personal reason will appreciate it, there 
is nol extnnl a serial publication, noi can the subjeel ol anotliei liardl) be conceived, which does or might come into the same class with that which we present. 

Whether the scenes of a lair can be compured with those that mark the struggles of the republic for existence or not, it must be conceded, that they do 
not encroach upon each other's domain, 

A bright novel may have a wider circulation in a month than a history or an encyclopedia in a year, but that of the latter will finally be the larger, and 

will always reflect substantial i rcdil upon the distributor 

So, while it is true of these pit turea thai some of them may appeal 1 ■ 1 be especially wanting in sensational elements, there is none without interest and worth. 

Take a few extreme instances : A photograph of an army saddle in itself is void of purpose ; but, if because Grant would not change it through the war, it 
illustrates One ol those uffeCI ions for, or perhaps an tinconfessed superstition in respect of, inanimate objects, then it touches a chord that makes the whole world kin. 

So a place will not be denied for the group of three horses which, more than any others, bore the General in his important campaigns. This does no more 
for them, than poetry did for the one which in most other lands and times would have added the title of Winchester to the name of Sheridan. 

The three horses of this group won the accumulated aristocratic prefixes or place names for an entire peerage, all of which should have been given — to the 
horses, the natural nobility of the man was above them. 

So a reproduction ol ,1 gifl hum the antipodes is simple, bul If 1! holds B IbOp in the Only Wreath Of lame that was ever thrown around the world for any 

man, that is a circumstance which fortunately touches the pride ol every American, Again, a first lieutenant commission, in fac simile, is not distinguished ; 
Napoleon had one also, but if, as in the ease ol Grant, this was but the I11 si l step in a lofty Right ol' promotion which culminated in the creation of a new and 
great rank above all others for the occupancy of his mighty military genius, then the earliest is not to be omitted. 

So elsewhere, side by side with seeming simplicities, are more significant scenes — the American Senate of the thirty-sixth Congress, the last one before the war. 

The last photograph of General Grant taken unknown to himself at Ml. McGregor only four days before his death. 

Grant was always accommodating to photographers. His posings arc the most remarkable that can be found of any man. They are a study in many 
ways. There is always manifest an old-fashioned regard for appearances. He liked to look well when lie had his picture taken. But oh, the simplicity and 
character in them. The quiet determination of the man ts never unsensed. This is especially noticeable in some groups winch show his staff abbut him at 
headquarters, doubtless taken with the purpose on somebody's part of publishing reproductions in the North ; for they could not be looked upon without an 
inspiration of confidence in the final result. There is one clearly not meant for that or any other purpose — it is of Grant alone, standing with his fore arm 
against a tree by the side of his tent at Cold Harbor. The situation may be read in his face ; the lines arc deeply drawn, a physical dejecture from over-anxiety 
is in his attitude, and yet the same combined freedom of pretense and unconquerable will is there — the constant apparition of the man. 

Finallv, there are the grand scenes, whose solemn pageantry will ever unroll, in the memory of those who saw it, at the mention of the General's burial, 
when the bowed heads of a mighty assemblage of four millions of people, the arms reversed, amid the pomp and circumstance of war, the trailing robes of civil 
magistracy and power, and the roar of artillery could hardly give the sign and voice of a nation's lamentation, and, following this, the picture of one other man, — 
the last photograph of Abraham Lincoln — because no soldier of the war is buried anywhere without the memory of what the President said at Gettysburg. 

The pictures are such as these. The demand for them may not be miscalculated. They will be wanted by all the organizations and individuals who 
appear in any of the scenes depicted, and of these persons there arc thousands ; — by all good citizens for whom, whether in the midst of cannons or cabinets, 
Grant stands for the Genius of American patriotism and the good order of a free people, a great example to our rulers and a lesson to our youth, for other heroes 
in a time of need, teaching in the words that all great masters use in every art, " Imitate me ;" by all the present army and its friends which, since it is so small, 
is mentioned here for honor more than profit, but there is not an officer or man in it who forgets that no equal glory, rests upon the arms of any other nation on 
the earth; — all won under the law and for liberty and peace, by that type of character which was embodied in General Grant;— by all the men of the Grand Army's 
Posts and of the Loyal Legion, and all the veterans and their children everywhere, who will hold these prints, as further proof of title to an immortal heritage ; 
by all the homes throughout the land ; in some to be enshrined in nook or corner, as fit memento of great sacrifice and loss which only found its gain in Grant's 
success, and in the rest becatise there is none that would not be adorned. 

By all of these it should be sought for art, for beauty, for historic truth, for lesson and example, and for prioe, for heroism, loyalty and fame, and also, but 
more kindly, for affection's sake.

JT7*"'' P n ' S( ' n ' pnicticr of ttu tcimiii; .1 publisher \ c i n u lat ii >n hy issuing in serial form, and at popular prices, editions of works of art is possible only because 
, of the demand. 

If a publisher condemns or abstains from the device he is not correcting an evil but withholding a good thing. The people are apt to be right, the artistic 
impulse manifested is in every way commendable, and a willingness to satisfy it is amiable. To do so, gives the people what they want, which it is said is the 
in si principle "f a publisher's success. The enormous editions required for the purpose named, enables the sale of single copies at prices almost inappreciable. 

If there be any duly in the matter, ii would seem to be best exercised in selecting such works for this use as will afford the most for the money, in worth 
and interest. A prominent feature of the existing demand is, that there shnll be adherence to photographic truth. 

We think our own collection pcculiai ly adapted lo the use pi npused. 1 1 overs a phase in the history of Gen. Grant which no previous publication has or 
can treat of, and without which no history of him is complete. It is substantially complete in itself, and is strictly limited to photographic facts. 

We have nothing but praise for the works with which our own may seem to compete, but if anything in the nature of comparison must be entertained for 
the purpose of judging of probable SUCCesV, we have- to submit that in cost, in permanent and historic interest, in intrinsic value, in fitness for such use, in art, skill 
and beauty, in simplicity and sublimity alike, in existing national advertisement, and the multitude of Americans who for personal reason will appreciate it, there 
is imi extant a serial publication, nor can the subject of another hardly be conceived, which does or might come into the same class with that which we present. 

Whether the scenes of a fair can be compared with those that mark the struggles of the republic for existence or not, it must be conceded, that they do 
not encroach upon each other's domain. 

A bright novel may have a wider circulation in a month than a history or an encyclopedia in a year, but that of the latter will finally be the larger, and 
will always reflect substantial credit upon the distributor. 

So, while it is true of these pictures that some of them may appear lo be especially wanting in sensational elements, there is none without interest and worth. 

Take a few extreme instances : A photograph of an army Saddle ia itself is void of purpose ; but, if because Grant would not change it through the war, it 
illustrates one of those affect ions lor. m perhaps an unconfessed superstition in respect of, inanimate objects, then it touches a chord that makes the whole world kin. 

So a place will not be denied t"i the group of three horses which, more than any others, bore the General in his important campaigns. This does no more 
for them, than poetry did foi tin- one which in most other lands and times would have added the title of Winchester to the name of Sheridan. 

The three horses of this group won the accumulated aristocratic prefixes or place names for an entire peerage, all of which should have been given— to the 
horses, the natural nubility of the man was above them. 

So a reproduction of a gift from the antipodes is simple, but if it holds a loop in the only wreath of fame that was ever thrown around the world for any 
man, that is a circumstance which fortunately touches the pride of every American. Again, a first lieutenant commission, in fac simile, is not distinguished ; 
Napoleon had one also, but if, as iu the case of Grant, this was but the first step in a lofty (Hghl of promotion which culminated in the creation of a new and 
great rank above all others for the occupancy of his mighty military genius, then the earliest is not to be omitted. 

So elsewhere, side by side with seeming simplicities, are more significant scenes— the American Senate of the thirty-sixth Congress, the last one before the war. 

The last photograph of General Grant taken unknown to himself at Mt, McGregor only four days before his death. 

Grant was always accommodating to photographers. His posings are the most remarkable that can be found of any man. They are a study in many 
ways. There is always manifest an old-fashioned regard for appearances, Me liked to look well when he had his picture taken. But oh, the simplicity and 
character in them. The quiet determination of the man is never unsensed. This is especially noticeable tn some groups which show his staff about him at 
headquarters, doubtless taken with the purpose on somebody's part of publishing reproductions in the North ; for they could not be looked upon without an 
inspiration of confidence in the final result. There is one clearly not meant for that or any other purpose — it is of Grant alone, standing with his fore arm 
against a tree by the side of his tent at Cold Harbor. The situation may be read in his face ; the lines are deeply drawn, a physical dejecture from over-anxiety 
is \\\ his attitude, and yet the same combined freedom of pretense and unconquerable will is there — the constant apparition of the man. 

Finally, there are the grand scenes, whose solemn pageantry will ever unroll, in the memory of those who saw it, at the mention of the General's burial 
when the bowed heads of a mighty assemblage of four millions of people, the arms reversed, amid the pomp and circumstance of war, the trailing robes of civil 

magistracy and power, and the roar of artillery could hardly give the sign and voice of a nation's lamentation, and, following this, the picture of one other man 

the last photograph of Abraham Lincoln — because no soldier of the war is buried anywhere without the memory of what the President said at Gettysburg 

The pictures are such as these. The demand for them may not be miscalculated. They will be wanted by all the organizations and individuals who 
appear in any of the scenes depicted, and of these persons there are thousands by all good citizens for whom, whether in the midst of cannons or cabinets 
Grant stands for the Genius of American patriotism and the good order of a free people, a great example to our rulers and a lesson to our youth, forother heroes 
in a time of need, teaching in the words that all great masters use in every art, " Imitate me by all the present army and its friends which, since it is so small 
is mentioned here for honor more than profit, but there is not an officer or man in it who forgets that no equal glory, rests upon the arms of any other nation'on 
the earth;— all won under the law and for liberty and peace, by that type of character which was embodied in General Grant;— by all the men of the Grand Army's 
Posts and of the Loyal Legion, and all the veterans and their children everywhere, who will hold these prints, as further proof of title to an immortal heritage - 
by all the homes throughout the land ; in some to be enshrined in nook or corner, as fit memento of great sacrifice and loss which only found its gain in Grant's 
success, and in the rest because there is none that would not be adorned. 

By all of these it should be sought for art, for beauty, for historic truth, for lesson and example, and for prioe, for heroism, loyalty and fame, and also but 
more kindly, for affection's sake.

Note. — The majority of the pictures contained in our publication are the only prints in existence of the events they are intended to commemorate: 
they have never before been exhibited to the public in any form; they cover a period of history of General Grant, without which no history of him is com- 
plete; and The American Civil War Book and Grant Ai.hum offers the only opportunity of securing them. To any public-spirited citizen, to the youth of 
the present generation, to the soldier or sailor, or to the veteran of the war, no present would be ntore welcome than a copy of The American Civil War 
Book and Grant Alhum, designed to perpetuate the memory of 



General Ui.vssks S. Grant.
